When anything shabby is the subject of
and city officials the expression ats as bad
as the Police Court room carpet" is always
used. The carpet is old, in fact it's ancient,
and every time al excited attorney gives
forth burst OF eloquence, he invariably
adds another rent TO the already large num-
Der OF spertures visible to the naked eye.
Said an officer yesterday, its sn evesore
that ought TO be removed and replaced with
something decent. Why, it's disgrace TO
the city" be exclaimed with a gesture that
would have done Edwin Booth credit.

The State and National Governments
are preparing 10 enact stringent laws for
the protection OF the peoples health, and
this the more especially III the matter OF
adulteratlcns whereby the food of the pu b.
lie IS contaminated with cheap and filthy
substances at the instance OF funscrupulous
money seekers who thus ROB the people of
both their health and means. One OF the
most common yet vIlest adulterations is
ammonia, noxious drug. The original
source of supply of ammonia was camel 5
dung. This foul substance was found in
the refuse of men and animals Ii is this
that produces the pungent and sickening
odors IN urinal ana neglected stables IL is
2 corrosive poison in its concentrated form.
The effect OF this drug seems to be cumula-
tive, ard when taken into the stomach in
small doses repeatedly, IL is easy TO con-
celYe that its action must De irritating TO
the coating of the stomach and the kidneys,
thereby causing much wretchednesS. Am
monia is largely used in the manufacture
CT baking powders. and probably more than
one-half the cans of baking powder on most
grocers' shelves contain this vile and dan
gerous drug. During the past few days tbe
residents OF Grand Rapids have been visited
in their homes by lady analysts, who therein
exposed methods by which food is adulter-
ated. They showed conclusiyeiy. TO the
satisfaction OF everyone witnessing their ex-
periments, that many baking powders were
reeking With ammonia, alum and other
foul substances which are calculated by
their very nature TO injure the health Of
men, women and children.
A simple test of the purity Of baking
powder, Is to mix teaspoonful of baking
powder into two teaspoonfuls of water and
boil if sduitersted the odor of ammonia
will De plainly perceived. The presence OF
ammonia in most cases indicates that alum
is used. as nearly all the alum ofcommerce
contains ammonia. Pure baking powder
will not give the faintest ammonical odor.
Baking powders composed principally of
starch, alum and terra alba, boil into a
thick. dirty paste.

pal or interest, but should the institute
default in any Of its payments the city
can take possession of the property.
All that is asked is that the city shall
lend the institute its credit until the
latter is strong enough to help itself.
The committee also referred the ap-
plication of the colored battalion for
an armory to the City Engineer, asking
him to report . suitable site and it,

1t vas''agreed to return the petition
of the State Agricultural Society (ask-
ing an appropriation of $4,000 to the
Council with the recommendation that
it be not granted, but that . special
committee be appointed to confer with
the authorities Of the society in regard
to the purchase of the property by the
city with view to using it as q park
except the one week the society want
it for the fair.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
An Old Wreck Hauled Up-COm-
merce of the James.

Notwithstanding the very limited ap-
preparation available for the improve
msnt OF James river there is a great
deal Of activity in the operations just
now. Engineer Burgwyn has men and
machines at work blastingan removing
rock, dredging off sand bars, enlarging
and extending the ietties and dykes,
and raising old wrecks.
In the early part Of the war Captain
Cunningham, Sr., ran his pilot boat,
the Plume, up here from Hampton.
and for four years nearly she lay an
chored in the dock. On the night Of
the evacuation she was taken by the
Confederate authorities, and with other
vessels sunk in Graveyard Reach, some
miles below Drewry's Bluff. The OBJ
ject seemed to be TO prevent the
Federal gunboats dashing up the river
and shelling our troops as they re-
treated across the pontOon bridges
from the north to the south side OF
the James. In 1867 a barge loaded
with anthracite coal bound for Rich
mond struck on the Plume and went
down by her side. Great parts of
these wrecks have remained in place
until recently, when Mr.. Burgwyn de-
termined to remove them. Many tim
bers, disjointed by his men by the use
of dynamite, have bsen hauled up, and
along with them copper from the bot
tom of the Plume, pieces of her rudder,
and large quantities of anthracite coal.
The improvements of the river are on
a systematic plan which only requires
that the Government shall deal with
the James as literally ns it has with
other rivers to make it a great success.
Some few OF our people are in the habit
Of speaking with contempt Of the river
and the river improvement, but they
would sing a different song were the
river closed for a year or two md
Richmond deprived of the healthful
competition which the steamers force
upon the railroads. Ii the river
brought us nothing but coal, ice, and
lumber all our interest in it would be
justified, but the truth is that there is
scarcely department of business which
does Rot receive benefits from the river

A Lively Chase.

On Sunday morning Mr.. Sydney
Trevvet, manager of tho Glen Allen
store, was aroused by negro who told
him that his employer, Captain
Cussons, wanted to see him. Hastily
dressing and locking up Mr.. Trevyett
started to Glen Allen, but having
some misgivings he communicated with
a servant and hurried back. Mean
while the negro had effected an en-
trance into the store with an axe, but
finding himself discovered he slipped
out by rear entrance and made for the
woods. A spirited foot-race at once
ensued, but the burglar, 4 powerfully
built fellow, ran like . deer, heading
eastward toward the Chicksh0miny
swamp. Ia few minutes Captain
Cussons and bis guests, DR.. Baker, of
Florida, and Nr. Eugene Whitner, had
out their horses and dogs, and,
sviftly covering wide circuit
by the open roGdr, soon sue
ceeded in doubling back the chase
and pushing it westward. BY this time
Nr. Trevvstt had picked up a horse,
and striking the hot return-trail, he was
lucky enough to geta sight race, when,
crowding his advantage, he soon
brodght down his quarry well in ad-
vance of the dogs. The hunting
grounds lay between Greenwood church
and Wins Westinghouse, and since
most Of the early church-goers joined
in the chase there was quite caval
cadc assembled at the close of the run.
Time, from start to finish, about two
hours. The negro WAS committed by
Justice King, pleading guilty. He
proved to be Richard Washington, bet
ter known as Chicken Dick" an in
corrigiblc thief and housebreaker, for
whom Deputy-Sherihf Neurohr has been
carrying warrants for months past.
This is the third attempt that has been
made on Glen Allen since the war, but
in each instance the burglars have been
captured within half day.
